Benefits of technology

The present disclosure provides a lintel system that can be reversed and installed in a new construction or to repair damaged lintels. This lintel system includes support columns and a cambered angle lintel that spans between the columns. The lintel can be raised or lowered to restore or install a new construction. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a more durable and easily repaired lintel system that can withstand damage over time and is safer for supporting masonry units.

Problems solved by technology

While the conventional post and lintel construction technique is widespread and used considerably, it does suffer from certain drawbacks.
Over time, the lintel deflects, or sags, and rotates, resulting in damage to the supporting members and an unsafe positioning of the masonry load, which must be repaired.
These repairs are time consuming, labor intensive, and costly.
These devices, however, do not provide a chambered angle lintel that can be reversed, about the y-axis, in order to restore old lintels or to install a new construction.
